THIS Tyneside schoolgirl is singing her heart out for the lads and lasses on the frontline.

Nine-year-old Georgina Thornton-Brown rubbed shoulders with the stars after bagging herself a role in a charity single aimed at raising cash for our troops.

Georgina, of Whitley Bay, joined a host of celebrities including Geordie actor Tim Healy and Dancing on Ice winner Hayley Tamaddon to record a new version of the Queen classic No-One But You (Only The Good Die Young).

The song has been re-released by the ABF Soldiers’ Charity, which has worked to support soldiers, former soldiers and their families in times of need for nearly 70 years.

Whitley Lodge First School pupil Georgina got the chance to sing backing vocals on the track thanks to showbiz manager mum Karen, who looks after former X Factor finalist Rachel Hylton, who also features. The youngster was given the day off school to travel to a London recording studio and do her bit.

Georgina said: “I was very excited to sing on the ABF Soldiers Charity single, as I know it is for a worthwhile cause and I would get to meet all the stars like Tim Healy, Darren Day, Coronation Street actors, and people from Holby City, as well as see Rachel Hylton again.

“I am very proud that I was lucky enough to get the chance to sing. I hope everyone downloads the song and helps raise lots of money for the Soldiers’ Charity. This charity gives support to soldiers, past soldiers and their families for life.

“Now after experiencing the recording studio I want to be a famous singer when I grow up. I am so proud to be part of this song and all my school friends now know about it.”

Georgina and Tim Healy sang backing vocals on the song, which has been endorsed by Queen guitarist Brian May. All proceeds from the single, now available as a download, will go to ABF The Soldiers’ Charity.

Darren Day, who features, said: “I am humbled by the sacrifices made for us, and I am honoured to contribute to this record and to support the great work of The Soldiers’ Charity.”

The Soldiers’ Charity, now in its 66th year, is aiming to raise £14m annually by 2015. Chief executive Maj General Sir Evelyn Webb-Carter, who himself served in Northern Ireland and Bosnia, is delighted that the stars – and Georgina – have agreed to help.

He said: “It is wonderful tribute to our soldiers. Everyone who downloads it will be supporting this excellent cause.”

Other household favourites who contributed to the single include CBBC presenter Lorna Laidlow and comedian Frank Carson.
